July 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said CBS

parent company Paramount paid $16 million on Tuesday as

part of a lawsuit settlement and that he expects to receive $20

million more.

Paramount earlier this month agreed to settle a lawsuit

filed by Trump over an interview with former Vice President

Kamala Harris that the network broadcast in October.

"We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our

Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount...

Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million Dollars in

settlement, and we also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars

more from the new Owners," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
